Moist - Leave It Alone Lyrics






I'd walk the water to get back to you
And where I was complete
We found you scattered by the highway side
Too soon to be released
Gathered the pieces up
And cleaned the places where you were undone
And washed the wreckage out
Unfinished, all the thoughts that we'd begun

I came to burn the sky
And tear away the beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day
And find the things I thought I'd always known

Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight

I laid your arms out long, untwisted there
And shaped what I could find
Unmade the most of it then left the rest
The parts unrecognized
My reconstruction was
The only way for one last look at you
I lost the sense of it
The absolution that we never knew

Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
And it takes me back from this place here
From this place here

I came to burn the sky
And tear away the beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day
And find the things I thought I'd always known

Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again

And it takes me back from this place here
From this place here, it takes me over
Might be lost in this place here
In this place here, it takes me on

Tonight, leave it alone
Tonight, leave it alone
Tonight, leave it alone
Tonight, leave it alone

  1. R.... B....

    This band was untouchable. Wish David usher would make more music

  2. C.... L....

    That whole album is classic. Yay 90s.

  3. J.... M....

    lol, drummer seemed/looked so bored :-D
    another lol at 3:47 for showing him on the hi-hat when he's in fact on the ride :-)

    J.... M....

    In the 90s everyone was depressed even though thing were never better. Also flannel. There was a lot of flannel.

    J.... M....

    They tend to use scenes out of order. In fact that scene is used more than once

  4. M.... C....

    Some of the most haunting lyrics ever written.
    "I came to burn the sky and tear away the beauty that it sows.
    If I could rape the day and find the things I thought I'd always known."

    M.... C....

    ive always wondered what that meant.

    M.... C....

    @Kcvee777 Song compares thinking what the hell went wrong with an old relationship to reconstructing the scattered corpse of his old girlfriend after a bad car accident. These lines compare his torturing himself over this relationship to killing all the beauty in his life, and expresses the wish that using excessive violence could make the pain go away so he could just leave it alone.

    Theres something wrong with this version. Check for better ones on youtube

    d.... ....

    Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this version?
    There are two versions of this video, by the way.

    d.... ....

    this one sounds a lot better https://youtu.be/d5-HDxyYlbw

    d.... ....

    agree. The audio mix is weird. It sounds like there's a bit of a megaphone effect on the vocals that isn't there on the album version of the song. The instrumental also sounds slightly off too. Not an audio quality issue, but like they're mixed differently than on the album

    d.... ....

    This version was probably taken off of the DVD which has a 5.1 audio option. Sounds like it anyways.

  6. S.... ....

    i always thought the lead singer was from donnie darko

    S.... ....

    David Usher does look a little like Frank.

    S.... ....

    He looks EXACTLY like my brothers friend and he went to the same elementary school as me. It’s so funny because this guy (my brothers friend) actually is a fan of moist and David usher😂😂

    S.... ....

    Ha.... No...

  7. p.... g....

    classic tune

    p.... g....

    i was born the year this song came out
